A Stormy Future, August 29
我们回天家-第243章
“它在头一个兽面前,施行头一个兽所有的权柄。并且叫地和住在地上的人,拜那死伤医好的头一个兽”(启13;12)。{HB266}[1]
我们回天家-第243章
He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.—Revelation 13:12.{HB 266.1}[1]
我们回天家-第243章
撒迦利亚所见到的约书亚及使者的异象,对于赎罪大日结束时上帝子民的经验,特别切合有力。余民的教会必遭受大试炼和大痛苦。凡守上帝诫命和耶稣真道的人,将尝到龙和龙的使者忿怒的滋味。撒但将世上的人都算为他的臣民。他已控制着一切叛道的教会;而这里还有一小群人,在抵制他的威权。只要能把这一群人从地上灭绝,他就必全胜。他在古时如何唆使许多拜偶像的国家来毁灭以色列国,在不久的将来,他也必照样鼓动地上的恶势力来毁灭上帝的百姓。一切的人都必受命去服从人定的法令,而违反上帝的律法。凡忠于上帝尽到本份的人,必遭恐吓、辱骂和迫害。他们必被“父母、弟兄、亲族、朋友”出卖(路21:16)。{HB266.1}[2]
我们回天家-第243章
Zechariah’s vision of Joshua and the Angel applies with peculiar force to the experience of God’s people in the closing up of the great day of atonement. The remnant church will be brought into great trial and distress. Those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus will feel the ire of the dragon and his hosts. Satan numbers the world as his subjects, he has gained control of the apostate churches; but here is a little company that are resisting his supremacy. If he could blot them from the earth, his triumph would be complete. As he influenced the heathen nations to destroy Israel, so in the near future he will stir up the wicked powers of earth to destroy the people of God. All will be required to render obedience to human edicts in violation of the divine law. Those who will be true to God and to duty will be menaced, denounced, and proscribed. They will “be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends.”{HB 266.2}[2]
我们回天家-第243章
他们唯一的希望是靠上帝的慈悲;他们唯一的保障就是祈祷。余民教会也象约书亚在使者之前祈求一样,必要伤心及存恳切的信心,藉耶稣为中保而求赦免与拯救。他们充分地感觉到自己生活上的罪孽,看明自己的软弱及不配,而且他们一看到自己,便几乎要绝望了。那试探者站在旁边控告他们,象以前站在约书亚旁边与他作对一样。他指出他们污秽的衣服,他们有瑕疵的品格。他提出他们的软弱与愚昧,他们忘恩负义的罪,他们不肖基督之处,已使他们的救赎主受了羞辱。他尽力恐吓他们的心灵,叫他们想到自己的情形是绝望的,污秽的痕迹是永远无法洗清的。他希望这样破坏他们的信心,以致他们会屈服于他的试探之下,不再忠于上帝,而接受兽的印记。{HB266.2}[3]
我们回天家-第243章
Their only hope is in the mercy of God; their only defense will be prayer. As Joshua was pleading before the Angel, so the remnant church, with brokenness of heart and earnest faith, will plead for pardon and deliverance through Jesus their Advocate. They are fully conscious of the sinfulness of their lives, they see their weakness and unworthiness, and as they look upon themselves they are ready to despair. The tempter stands by to accuse them, as he stood by to resist Joshua. He points to their filthy garments, their defective characters. He presents their weakness and folly, their sins of ingratitude, their unlikeness to Christ, which has dishonored their Redeemer. He endeavors to affright the soul with the thought that their case is hopeless, that the stain of their defilement will never be washed away. He hopes to so destroy their faith that they will yield to his temptations, turn from their allegiance to God, and receive the mark of the beast.{HB 266.3}[3]
我们回天家-第243章
撒但在上帝面前坚决控告他们,声称他们已因他们自己的罪而丧失了蒙神圣保护的权力,并宣称他有权除灭他们这些罪人。他说他们是与他本身一样,不该再蒙上帝的恩宠。他说:“难道这些就是代替我在天上的地位,以及凡与我联合之天使的地位的人吗?”(《教会证言》卷五472,473页){HB266.3}[4]
我们回天家-第243章
Satan urges before God his accusations against them, declaring that they have by their sins forfeited the divine protection, and claiming the right to destroy them as transgressors. He pronounces them just as deserving as himself of exclusion from the favor of God. “Are these,” he says, “the people who are to take my place in heaven and the place of the angels who united with me?”—Testimonies for the Church 5:472, 473.{HB 266.4}[4]
